If you are looking for a good Animals compilation, DO NOT BUY THIS CD! It contains good songs murdered by awful, badly produced rerecording featuring the duffest arrangements possible (complete with cheesy 80s electric Piano) and a drummer who can't keep time properly.

Everything about it is unclear, it is a dirt-cheap swindle which doesnt tell you whether this really is the Animals or not. No effort went into this. The sleeve notes are sparse, the sound quality is bad, the CD itself looks like it is a CD-R, the arrangements are criminal and the cover is horrible, with the ugliest photo of the band ever taken.

Whether it be Eric Burdon solo songs or Animals songs, these are absolutely rubbish re-recordings on which it is unclear whether this really is the Animals themselves. Everything about this is unproffesional, it looks like it came off a third world illegal CD market! I hope I have convinced anyone with the slightest doubt in their mind NOT to buy this.

The only ever slightly okay tracks are the last 4: and they are not written by the Animals. This is awful. I wish I had never laid eyes on it and so will you if you buy it. STEER WELL CLEAR!

The tracks on this CD are 1990's recording by a group formed and fronted by Danny McCulloch (bassist with Eric Burdon & The Animals in late 1960's) ... calling itself THE ANIMALS but containing no other 1960's members of The Animals or Eric Burdon & The Animals. Interesting re-recordings of 1960's hits made famous by The Animals and Eric Burdon & The Animals plus enjoyable new songs by McCulloch and Co but simply not THE ANIMALS and no Eric Burdon vocals on this CD.

I've been looking for the original American version of "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" ever since CD's came on the market. I have purchased several CD's of The Animals Greatest Hits, but they all have the original British version. I have the original American 45 RPM, so I know the song very well. The rest of the other Animal songs on those CD's are the original versions.

I thought I'd give this very inexpensive CD a shot. Well, not only is "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" a cover, the three other songs that charted in the United States are also covers. And, they are not even covered by Eric Burdon, but one of the other Animals. In fact, Eric Burdon does not even appear anywhere on this CD.

The 8 other songs on the CD are covers of other artist's songs, or songs I've never heard of. I don't mind paying good money for a CD if the song I'm looking for is the original (in this case, American) release. However, in this case, it was not. I do not recommend buying this CD, even at this low price.

Dear God burn it, burn it! Holy Hell, i have no idea what these people did to these songs but they sound like crap. This is an aweful cd, it's just a collection of some of The Animals most well known songs, which have somehow been "digitally remastered" to grate on your eardrums. It's not even Eric Burdon and The Animals who sing the songs on the cd, it's some moron with a synthesizer. My God they should all be burned and sent back to Hell where they belong.

I got this as a well meaning gift. On the first track there's some guy who tries his best to sound a little bit like Eric Burdon, but in fact sounds like he has a chest disease. It's all downhill from there. Because I didn't actually pay for this, I'm not too enraged: the intro to "Don't Let Me Be Mistunderstood" made me laugh out loud. But not much.

Like the others said: don't buy this CD. I wanted to give it no stars but the review form wouldn't let me.
